Inserting a Public Key Block
============================

   The function `mc-insert-public-key' will extract a key from your
public keyring and insert it into the current buffer.  `mc-write-mode'
binds this function to `C-c / x' by default.

   This function is useful for sending your public key to someone else
or for uploading it to the key servers (Note: Key Servers).  The
inserted key will be the first one on your public key ring which
matches the string `mc-pgp-user-id' (*note Encrypting a Message:
Encrypting.).

   You may want to insert a different public key instead; for example,
you may have signed someone's key and want to send it back to them.  To
do so, pass a prefix argument to `mc-insert-public-key'.  (That is,
type `C-u C-c / x'.)  You will be prompted for a string; the first key
on your public key ring which matches that string will be inserted.
